  to stop eating.

Ideas and Appetites (cont.)

• After we have a little food we like to open our
  presents.
• If you have not yet graduated you get a present
  by someone who drew your name.
• If you are graduated we do a white elephant gift.
• If there is snow on the ground we usually will go
  sledding if not we play some games.
• Playing games is always fun with Aunt Jeanne.

What is a White Elephant Gift?

• The game we play for the white elephant gift.
• Everyone brings a present from your house (can be
  ugly or cute).
• We sit at a table and have to dice.
• Someone goes first and if they draw a double set
  of numbers they get to pick a present and open
  it.
• Once everyone has a present the real fun begins.

What is a White Elephant Gift? (cont.)

• We set a time for how long we go.
• If you have a gift you really want that someone
  else has you can steal it from them only if you
  have a double when you roll u can take it.
• When the timer is up you get what you get and you
  dont throw a fit.
• This year I was in the drawing and I got a
  digital photo frame.
• On the other hand my cousin got some ugly plates.

What Big Family You Have

• I have a big family with a variety of age
  numbers.

• My grandpa Van is 81 and my Cousin Andrew is 1.
• I have 3 aunts, 15 first cousins (counting their
  husband and wife), and 12 2nd Cousins. And of
  course my two sisters, parents and grandparents!
• All on my moms side.

We are Thankful

• Christmas is a time for my family to be happy and
  thankful that we are together another year.
• We are all glad to see each other.
• My family is close considering we all live near
  Tekamah, but it is nice to see everyone that
• comes to our holidays in one
• big house.
